HANDLES CHIEF WORK.
The Masterpiece of SACRED Music.

The Masterpiece OF Sacred Music.
No musical composition has ever had
such long and enduring popularity as
"The Messiah"
It is recognized throughout the whole
world as tho most elaborate and COM
plete song of praise ever written. It's
entire text and motive celebrates the
birth Of Christianity and Of the Christian
year.
II was composed by Handel in 1741,
the entire score beiag written In twenty
four days. g. The Messiah" was first
produced under the personal direction
OF the composer at the Musical Hall, In
Dublin. Ireland, on April IS, 1742. The
first performance In England was on
March 23. 1743.
After this year It was produced annu-
ally by the composer up to the date OF
his death In 1853, and was the last per-
Torrance ever given by him.
The success Of the oratorio was instan-
taneous, and 1t has never failed In its
wonderful effects. On the occasion of
the first performance London 1t is told
that the audience was much affected by
the music. and at the beginning Of the
famous q Hallelujah" chorus. they were
so transported that, with one accord
tney arose 10 THEIR IeeJ ana remulneu
standing until the finish.
Among the audience present on that
occasion were the King OF England and
his attendants. From this incident the
habit originated, which Is still In vogue
In England, and many parts OF this coun-
try, OF the audience rising during the
singing OF tho /" HalIelujnh."
In 1888 additional Accomplishments
for orchestra were written, and added to
the original score OF "The Messiah"
by Mozart. In this connection 1t Is Of
interest to know that the only further
attempts to improve the score were
made recently by the eminent German
composer, Robert Franz.
II is reported, however, hat his efforts
have not been an improvement over the
Mozart arrangement.
In the time of Handel the number
OF wind instruments, used in an orches-
ira. was very limited. In the Mozart
arrangement few Of these instruments
are added to the orchestra.
In the last arrangement, made by
Robert Franz, the orchestration is much
more elaborate and devIates very largely
from the effect intended to be- produced
by Handel himself.

Half an hour afterwards, when Mr..
Byington came In, Kitten ran to him, all
smiles and tears.
"Mr. Beverley" he said In surprise,
glanclng from his niece to her companion.
"No, uncle. 1t isn't Mr.. Beverley, 1t Is
Robin. my old love, Robin. and-and I

Farmer Bolton and his wife came up

A shors and lean man stood In front
OF one OF the windows OF the Union depot
and looked out into the street His face
was pale. his cheeks sunken, and his
ewes had an unnatural brightness. A
smile played over his pa face and
brought into greater prominence his
black, bright eyes as an elderly man
walked up to him.

IN heavy overcoat, and. assisted by his
elderly companion. was moving out In

road.
A third party stepped up, ST. Paul

latter to his elderly companion.

Animal Spirits.

The fcz terrier - niwnyB reader for o

joys himself more thoroughly on the
way. His natural gait lie swlfter than
mans, and all animals OF whom that
can be said have great advantage In
the amount OF pleasure which they de-
rive, or ought to derive from the use
of their limbs.
The glory of rapid motion which we
can only begin to realize on the box
seat OF coach, or In the movement of
skating, must be something much more
intense to the chamois or the white
headed eagle.
Constantly. throughout the animal
world, we notice that delight In the use
OF muscle and limb which In man scarce
ly survives his majority, but which In
them lasts far into maturity.
We are accustomed unconsiously to
recognize their prerogative In this re-

doors? Two Woinen's Experiences.
mSam Small. Evangelist"

"Sam Small, Evangelist"
The proverbial philosophy of "Old
ST." the venerable plantation darkey,
who. gave to the world through the
medium of Small's pen maxims Of
worldly wisdom, clothed in verbiage
of irresistible humor, has found a
permanent place in humorous litera-
ture.
Great surprise was shown when it
was announced that he, having been
converted under the ministrations of
"Sam JONES'" would become an evan
gelist.
At first thought, humorist in the
pulpit seems incongruous. Is it
really So?
No doubt the mere buffoon attempt
ing to turn mems hearts to solemn
truths would meet with only con-
tempt. But truth is not hidden in
gloom. Genuine humor frequently
illustrates and fastens in the mind
bits Of wisdom that would otherwise
pass unheeded.
In his eulogy Of Henry Ward
Beecher, Rev. DIR. Parker says:
"Whenevcr he came among men, he
brought June sunshine and music,
and made even desponding and surly
men feel that fuller and warmer
summer, the Kingdom Of Heaven
itself was at hand.'" That is genial
christianity.
Mr.. Small belongs to witty family.
He has brother connected with
Armoy Knox's and Fat Contri-
butor's Teras Siftings, paper which
has had phenomenal success in the
field OF numerous literature. Mr..
Frank A. Small is the present re-
preventative OF that popular paper in
England, and, like his distinguished
brother, he takes deep interest in
the welfare of other people.
Under date of 4S Porten Road,
Kensington w. London, Eng, Sept.
~, 1887, he writes "While at Yalding
in Kent yesterday, l met Prof. S.
Williams, Head Master of the Cleaves
Endowed school. In The course of
conversation about America, Prof.
Williams remarked that Warmers
safe cure had been OF great benefit to
his wife, who had been much troubled
with disordered liver. Warmers
safe cure IAN American preparation)
was all she had taken, and she had
experienced none of her old trouble
for some months past.
Mrs. Annie Jenness-Miller, editor
OF New York Dress, and very po-
pular woman in the fashionable world
says in her own magazine for October !:
"Warner's safe cure is the only
medicine | ever take or recommend.
In every instance it gives new energy
and vitality to all my powers. !"
This distinguished woman also says
that for ladies this great remedy is
peculiarly effective"
sam Small is likely to succeed as a
moral teacher When we remember
how near together in human nature
lie the fountains of laughter and of
tears, the deep effect his discOurses
must have On the masses can easily
be imagined.
"Why did God make so much out
